Insights

The Clough Global Opportunities Fund's monthly distribution announcement reveals concerning patterns. The fund's entire $0.0480 per share distribution consists of return of capital, with no component from investment income or capital gains. This means the fund is essentially returning investors' original investment rather than generating actual returns.

The fund's metrics paint a challenging picture: an annualized distribution rate of 9.34% appears attractive, but with a modest cumulative total return of 2.56% fiscal year-to-date and a meager 1.67% 5-year average annual return, the distribution appears unsustainable from investment returns alone. The gap between distribution rate and actual returns suggests potential NAV erosion over time.

For investors, this return of capital distribution structure could have tax implications and may mask the fund's actual performance. While return of capital distributions aren't immediately taxable, they reduce the cost basis of shares, potentially leading to larger capital gains taxes when shares are sold.

The distribution structure warrants careful tax consideration. With 100% of both current and fiscal year-to-date distributions classified as return of capital, shareholders must adjust their cost basis downward by $0.0480 per share for December and $0.09600 cumulatively for the fiscal year. This reduces the future capital gains tax burden but also means investors are simply receiving their own capital back rather than actual investment returns.

The absence of investment income or capital gains components in the distribution suggests potential portfolio performance issues. While return of capital can be tax-efficient in certain scenarios, this pattern raises red flags about the fund's ability to generate genuine investment returns to support its distribution policy.

The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this 19(a) Notice are only estimates and not for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund's investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes. The Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund's investment performance and should not be confused with ‘yield' or ‘income.'

Presented below are return figures, based on the change in the Fund's Net Asset Value per share ("NAV"), compared to the annualized distribution rate for this current distribution as a percentage of the NAV on the last business day of the month prior to distribution record date.

While the NAV performance may be indicative of the Fund's investment performance, it does not measure the value of a shareholder's investment in the Fund. The value of a shareholder's investment in the Fund is determined by the Fund's market price, which is based on the supply and demand for the Fund's shares in the open market.

Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund's investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund's Managed Distribution Plan.

Furthermore, the Board of Trustees reviews the amount of any potential distribution and the income, capital gain or capital available. The Board of Trustees will continue to monitor the Fund's distribution level, taking into consideration the Fund's net asset value and the financial market environment. The Fund's distribution policy is subject to modification by the Board of Trustees at any time. The distribution rate should not be considered the dividend yield or total return on an investment in the Fund.
